  • Opened the pic is Camera Raw CS3
  • Adjusted brightness, exporsure, blacks, contrast, etc., etc., etc..
  • Duplicated the background layer
  • Applied a Gaussian Blur with a radius of 2.0
  • Set the layer's blending mode to Soft Light
  • Used the "Dodge and Burn" Method on the top part of the flower
  • Cropped

There you have it!

Clusty,

As much as I'd like to see your edit, the first third of your gigantic photo took 5 minutes to download, so I posted this instead.

Clusty, Welcome

Sorry, I have Dialup. It was worth waiting for, sharper than most so far, with a clean, light look. Thanks for resizing. Sometimes it's the website just being sluggish.

michael-olszak, Belated Welcome

Thought this was done, but as all threads, it stays as long as there's room. Your edit reminds me of old National Geographic photos, or the Sunday paper rotogravure. Effective and well done.

Thought I might pull up an old timer. First I played with levels to brighten. Did some selective saturation on the bee. Use the selection tool to create an area around the bee. Image-create frame. Used persepctive mode under the pick tool to reshape. Created drop shadow around the frame. erased parts of the flower i wanted to go over the frame. Fractalious plug in on the bee (this plug in wont allow you to do sections so i had to use a duplicate layer and erase aruond the bee) merged layers. Duplicate again and set mode to multiply to darkent he background. Erased parts I wanted to remina light.
Did a one step noise removal and then sharpened the bee.
what would you do3

Windrider, I'm lost for words. That is pure excellence! That frame fits perfectly.
